Go to the expo 2 days before. Never the day before.

I agree with this. After walking around a couple of hours my legs are tired. Just get your bib, shirt, and leave.

Only go the day before.
My best marathon I didn't run the day before. My worst one I did.
I'm sure thousands of other people have the opposite experience, but that was mine. Not sure if there was anything in that correlation, it could've been coincidence.
Just do some strides and make yourself feel pumped up and excited.
You get faster when you rest. Get as much sleep as possible. That's the most important thing. Eat lots of pasta, rice, bread, or any kind of easily digestible carb-rich food.

I did NOT run the day before this weekend (I usually have in the past) and I ended up with an 8-minute PR. Don’t know what the counter-factual would have been, but I stayed at pace until the last mile or two, and even then just fell off a combined 24 seconds. (Had enough time banked to still beat my goal time.)
I DID walk all over downtown Milwaukee looking for a restaurant the night before, though!

There’s no need to be defiant about your jogging. No one is stopping you
It depends on how much volume you've been doing. There's no question that if you run it should be incredibly easy, but if you're doing a marathon on 40 miles/week, then no run is going to be easy enough. If you've been doing 120, then you probably need a few miles to feel even semi-normal. I'm a high mileage guy, and I've always done 7, 5, 3, in the last three days before a marathon. The 5 will usually have 2 miles that are within 30 seconds/mile of MP, just to get my heart actually beating. The 3 is a shuffle with a couple of 100 meter "strides" at no faster than HMP. Immediately after the 3, I do a 10 minute yoga routine (no deep stretches), eat all the pancakes, then put my legs up for the day.

No, not many indeed. Those that don't understand can go on chasing rabbits or being plastic fantastic lovers.
